The running joke around college basketball is centered around Tom Izzo’s mother, and if she is able to score on various players in the sport. Stemming from a comment Izzo made to Kur Teng, it has caught on to social media, and even drawing out a comment from Brad Underwood.
The culmination of the joke, using AI graphics, showed Izzo’s mom hitting a cross over on Teng, and that poster has now made its way into the Izzo household.
In his midweek press conference, Izzo talked about his mother, and the fact that she had the poster put onto her wall in her home. He was very funny with how he reacted to the social media takeover.
“It’s a hell of a poster! I’m usually pretty good at keeping people humble, although it’s a little harder when it’s your mother.”
